These slides accompanied a talk on online reputations given by Shireen Smith, the founder of Azrights Solicitors, at the City Speakers Lunch on the 17th of December.
4. Reputation The Streisand Effect An Internet phenomenon where an attempt to censor or remove a piece of information backfires, causing the information to be publicised widely and to a greater extent than would have occurred if no censorship had been attempted. - Wikipedia www.azrights.co.uk
5. Reputation Today's published Commons order papers contain a question to be answered by a minister later this week. The Guardian is prevented from identifying the MP who has asked the question, what the question is, which minister might answer it, or where the question is to be found. The Guardian is also forbidden from telling its readers why the paper is prevented – for the first time in memory – from reporting parliament. Legal obstacles, which cannot be identified, involve proceedings, which cannot be mentioned, on behalf of a client who must remain secret. www.azrights.co.uk
